| Comments: Got the 6 bed private bath. Bathroom was clean, room was clean, etc. Front desk was nice and informative. They have some pretty good tours throughout the week. Enjoyed the Flamenco show. Had to pay for blanket... 2 euros. Free internet and breakfast. Very nice and reasonable place for sure. |

| Comments: This was an excellent hostel in the perfect location! The facilities were great and we had an awesome time! I wouldn't go on the guided tours provided though... they weren't worth the money we paid. Definitely recommended though. |

| Comments: Excellent hostel! In Passeig de Gracia right by the Casa Batllo. Out of the seediness on the Las Ramblas area but still close enough. Loved it, would go back. |

| Comments: The character of this building is amazing! Beautiful wrought iron railings, right smack in the center of everything, next door to the famous Batillo house designed by Antoni Gaudi!! I loved everything except the uncomfortable beds! The bedrooms were clean, and it had an awesome view, just very uncomfortable. |

| Comments: Great location, right on the main road. Breakfast wasn't to bad either. Only negative thing was that you had to pay extra for a towel and blanket. |

| Comments: Breaky was ok but get in early! Common room nice and big with plenty of computers for internet access. It was really good of them to let us hang around and leave our bags there all day and night until we caught the train at 11pm! |

| Comments: Good location. Easy to find. Security excellent. The security guard not allowed us to go in when we just shown him our passcard. He insisted us to show him the receipt.
Kitchen is a bit messy. But the breakfast is good, healthy food. Minor mistaked. We brought a too small keypad lock, which we wished to lock our locker in the room. But, thankful to our shared dorm buddies, nothing unhappy happened during our stay. |

| Comments: Elevators suck but other than that the place was cool. Everything was good, the only things that sucked were the elevator and the 10AM check out time. I would love an extra hour or 2 to sleep off my buzz. Hot chicks all over and lots of info on stuff to do in the area. |

| Comments: Staff were not very helpful. Onsite bar was converted to a cafeteria the week before we arrived meaning they did not provide alcohol and you were not allowed to bring your own alcohol. There is no rooftop bar as has been advertised - one staff member said this was being built and wouldn't be ready until next year. My partner and I were staying in a 4 bed dorm -they were unable to allocate us beds within the same bunk bed so we had to share with other strangers |

| Comments: I´m a solo backpacker of all seasons with 16+ countries and counting. This Hotel is well located, not to far away from Plaza Cantolonia, a few of Gaudi´s works. This Hostel is a party hostel with large crowds. Not exactly the easiest place to meet other single travellers, but it can be done. The tapas bar tour was quite good. Showers were a bit small to my liking it´s like the size of a refridgerator box, slightly bigger, but livable. Very secure in my opinion if you have to show your card and magnetic key in to your room. I would go back again if I ever make it to barcelona! Oh, and the Bus Tourismo drops you practically in front of the hostel. |

| Comments: I have stayed in many hostels around Europe and Centric Point was definetely the place where I found the rudest staff. The guys at the reception desk were always in the worst mood you can imagine. Instead of answering my doubts about the hostel and the city they were always sarcastic and unpolite. If I had experienced that only once I wouldn't mind at all but the thing is that they were ALWAYS like that with NO EXCEPTION. I got really disappointed about this hostel. |
